AppleScript issue with returns in database (FMP) fields

I have an AppleScript script in a Revolution stack. The script, when  
tested via the (AppleScript) Script Editor, gets records from a File  
Maker Pro (ver. 5) database without problem. Some fields in the FMP  
database have returns separating lines of text. The Script Editor  
brings the returns into the result with no problem.

When the script is executed in Revolution via a "do as AppleScript"  
command the result returns the information from the FMP fields with  
the return chars missing. All lines from within the FMP field are  
joined together.

Any ideas as to how to fix this?

I am on the road and email access is limited so replies will not  
always be answered immediately.
